Here's the situation: 1) The DOS path G:\ is mounted at /cygdrive/g 2) My current directory is 3 subdirectories from the root, though I've seen it with any number (/cygdrive/g/a/b/c). 3) There is a shell script I want to execute in the parent directory (/cygdrive/g/a/b/script) The Problem: From the directory /cygdirve/g/a/b/c if I type the following at the bash prompt: ../script I get the following error message: ../../script: Can't open ../../script If I move down another level, and type ../../script I get the following error message: ../../../../script: Can't open ../../../../script Whatever relative path I add gets doubled. If I specify the absolute path: /cygdrive/g/a/b/script then everything works. Has anyone seen this behavior before and know how to fix it? - Tim -- ====================================================================== Timothy L.
